Let's Manage The Tower

Chapter 4 Unilateral Demand

"Hey, what are you going to do with that artifact?

Sylvia leaned her neck against Zed's words.

"What do you mean?

"You can't possibly have a godsend by yourself, right? So I asked you what to do?

Zed just said he didn't know that either.

"Why shouldn't I have it alone?

"A divine instrument that allows you to have direct dialogue with God!? Shouldn't we be managing it in the temple?

Zed was the only one speaking here, but it was clear that other members were thinking the same thing.

Except for the peach, of course.

"I'd like to ask why, naturally... do you take care to decorate things that you can't use?

"... what?

"This artifact was made for me. It can't be used by anyone else, right?

Sylvia didn't dare say who created it, but it seemed to have quickly been told who it was.

"... is that better?

It was Laurel who said that he had seen a direct assistant make artifacts.

"If anyone else could make something like this, wouldn't the church already know?

Sylvia's right.

In the first place, Kouji's identity was known in an attempt to manage the artifacts that Kaiseki first made in this temple.

At least Laurel had never heard of anyone else who could make such a divine instrument besides the audience.

"In the first place, he said he didn't plan to release the artifact. I can't possibly be different about that."

"If you give it to a strange person and they abuse it, you won't get away with it ~"

The peach came at an exquisite time and put in a gavel.

Divine objects that can communicate with God can be used not only with them, but also with them.

For example, even though I don't actually have a cross god, I use my cross gods to cross gods and say things like this.

Not to mention, it is more obvious than looking at the fire what the result would be if we borrowed the glory of the temple.

It became a matter of directly obtaining the divine "God" by the artifact, but with regard to the continental group, the original purpose was not achieved.

I was rejected once yesterday, but if I give up with one rejection, there can be no negotiation.

Today is the arrow tip that I tried to open my mouth in an attempt to elicit some concessions.

Peaches were unusual.

"Well, we're all done here, so I'll pull you back to the tower, like you said."

Having said that, you'll soon be ready to take your seat.

Wait a minute.

Anything else ~?

I saw Karin holding her peach.

Of course, this attitude was deliberate, but those who didn't know the peach didn't notice it.

"We haven't discussed anything about the Temple of the Tower yet!

"That's exactly what I told you yesterday. There's no point in accepting you here."

It was a peach that showed a clear refusal.

But then, the residents won't be able to stand up to me.

"Really? If the Lord God himself wanted that, would you be satisfied?

"Of course I'm going to accept you as a pilgrim, but I'm not going to accept you as a settler or a clergyman for now."

Pilgrims refer to the journey of priests in training around shrines in cities around the world.

In the Central Continent, where there are many monsters attacking the streets, it is carried out using streets where there are not many monsters, but where there are relatively few other monsters.

You can stay in a city's temple for as long as a month. For the people of the city, pilgrims are treated as pilgrims.

The priests in the town's temple are treated differently.

Pilgrims are "customers" only to the people of the town.

The person to be worshipped in the shrine (God?), but you can't force them to accept you as long as you don't need a priest to settle in.

When I forced myself into this negotiation, I bought the discomfort of God himself, which should be enshrined, and I fell down.

"... you're not going to accept it, no matter what?

"At least that's what you've been hearing for now. As I said yesterday, I don't know."

"Well, he's a lot busy right now, and he's going to be ahead about the temple."

Sylvia said that with a bitter smile.

At present, I am conscious of other tower strategies no matter what I think.

The fifth level of the temple may be secondary.

It was not limited to examinations, but the same was true of Sylvia and Peach who were here.

The two of us are done, so I'd like to get back to the tower.

You must have felt the atmosphere in the boulder.

Shri decided that any further negotiations would be meaningless or worse.

Sylvia and Peach are not the only negotiators. Behind them is the real-world god who was admitted yesterday.

"So, unfortunately for me, is there any further progress?

"That's right. I've already done this, so I guess we'll just have to leave now."

That's what Peach said and got up quickly.

Sylvia stood up the same way.

If Peach decided it was enough, I thought it was really enough.

They headed straight for the exit of the room, but no one strangely retained them.

They turned their backs and didn't realize that they were staring at each other until the end.

Well, the prospectus has been removed brilliantly.

Shuri, who had dropped them off, said so with pleasure.

Two of the other three continental groups had dark expressions and the remaining one looked at Shuri as if they were staring.

"Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun."

It was Laurel who said that.

"Of course. Well, there's also a loss. But wouldn't it be fun to be so brilliant?

"... give up?

That's what Zed was staring at.

"That's not true. At least as a pilgrim, I've been given permission to visit, so I'll take a slow tour."

Karin and Tamar nodded as she said that it was Shuri's word.

I was given the opportunity to make a corner, so I was given the protection of the three great gods to take a closer look at the temple where the real god is the main god.

The opportunity to see such a precious temple is unlikely in the first place.

"So? What about Mixen's temple?

"That's right...... shall we worship his god as a subject of faith?"

Half joking, half serious Laurel.

Leila Amamiya, who developed the Crown Card with the status in the first place, was already so powerful that none of the adventurers on the Central Continent knew about it.

The momentum seemed to go even to other continents.

As it stands, Crown Cards do not seem to grow explosively because they can only be made at the Tower's headquarters, but the number of members continues to grow unaware of their decline.

Laurel didn't know it was Kouske who made the foundation for the Crown Card, but she thought it would be strange for the real-world gods to be believed among the adventurers.

After all, there is information that two other towers have already been attacked, in addition to accumulating track records in a tower called the Amamiya Tower.

It had already been rumored that the other four towers were a matter of time.

With that in mind, I thought that in the Central Continent, which has a large proportion of adventurers in the first place, the present gods could have many believers.

Of course, at the heart of that faith will be that temple in the tower of Amamia.

Laurel laughed bitterly as she thought so much.
